I beat it when it first came out, and I replayed it I think two years ago, to completion.

WIsh they had finished the storyline, but wow what a triumph. I would just clear out every base and capture every guard with stealth and skyhook them out of there, tried to never kill anyone. Just pure fun. THe stealth mechanic has never been matched, and the graphics were fucking great.

Also forgot you can't have multiple saves in this game. Shame I had to wipe my prestigious old base

Steam link is 180 though.

b) Constantly impressed by just how well done the game is (even not really being finished) and how noticable the Curation is. E.g. there's no difficulty settings, but the mission rating system will just implicitly shame you into not accepting a ttt B. The side missions are filler, but they're typically either fun or challenging, not an endless procedurally generated snoozefest. Lots of unique little mechanics and touches in the game (the cassette system, easter eggs like fooling guards by playing a tape of a guy shitting, etc.) that you don't see as often in Games Created By Committee

c) I'm not sure there's a single player game in existence which is more purely fun than MGSV can be. Not the best necessarily, just the most fun. Related to above but all the little pieces come together very nicely -- was laughing my ass off when I failed a mission by rolling off a not-particularly high cliff to be immediately met with the "AGH!"

d) Quiet is such a stupid fucking character. Kojima really out-Kojimbo'd himself this time

Even the bullshit little side missions are fun as fuck

Also looks pretty damn good in 4k

That said, my 2025 Rating is 9/10 COWSHITS. 10/10 gameplay and 5/10 story which is more than the sum of its parts. Holds up very well. A flawed Triumph. Someone needs to get Kojimbo to make another game like this instead of Death Stranding 3 or whatever.
